Salmon Arm fire department responds to one of best kinds of fire calls

Vehicle fire extinguished without any major destruction

All in a day’s work for the Salmon Arm Fire Department, and one of the best kinds of fire calls.

Three fire department vehicles responded to a vehicle fire on 10th Street SE about 2 p.m. on Monday, May 4.

Fire Chief Brad Shirley said the owner had a dry chemical fire extinguisher so he was able to pretty well put the fire out himself.

Shirley said it was a small electrical fire on the underside of the engine, and appeared to have caused minimal damage to the vehicle.
